Ive got the motor, who rents the boat only?

[B17]

Im in the metro and finally got my motor tuned up. Problem is, I dont have a boat to throw it on. Even if I bought one I have nowhere to store it.

So, are there any lakes within an hour or so who have a place that rent a boat only for a day?

I know it's a little further than an hour but Bj's on Clearwater rents boats without motors. Pretty good lake too

Ive actually rented there quite a few times. With the motor last year. Good deal. Its a hard lake to fish!

I've got a nice little 14' fishing boat and trailer that you could possibly use. Lots of lakes in the area and the Croix is just 15 miles down the road.

If you're an honest hard working guy "rent" will be very reasonable. Grainbelt works

Not bad. Im in Bloomington, so Im not sure how close we are. But I would be up for that. I can shoot you a message here some day and go from there. Most times its just going to be me and a buddy or me and the Mrs....

Just give me a shout whenever. The boat is at my house in Stacy, which is about 45 minutes from ya. Lots of water within 15 miles, but you can take it wherever as long as it comes back in one peice

B-man717, that is pretty generous of you to offer to help a fellow member out. You sir are a true sportsman, we need more people like you on here

Just payin' it forward

Last fall I had a week off for bowhunting in Wisconsin. I tagged out earlier in the week and was looking for a possible place to hunt the MN gun opener.

A gentleman from this HSOforum (Jerkin'm aka Pat D.) took me out deer hunting and walleye fishing at his place. I was a complete stranger to him, but he welcomed me with open arms.

He gave me a place to hunt and my own private cabin (which was a very nice place)

That is a TRUE sportsman! I'm just a guy with an extra fishing boat that needs to get wet. If it gets used, I can justify it to the Missus that we need to keep it

Thanks again Pat

Cool Bman! I like the way you think! I was just going to offer him my boat for the weekend. I have the "Tincan" 12 smokercraft he could use, but after my last river trip last weekend, I noticed I need to replace the wheelbearings on the trailer. Great offer my man! Karma will pay it ahead as well! Thanks for your generosity!
